The current model relative to our turnover doesn't quantify for salaries of circa £15k+ required to bring in established Championship players though. The gulf that's been created between L1/L2 and the Championship is ridiculous and as such the leap was always going to be a challenge for us both on and off the pitch. We've gone from having an above average budget to one of the smallest budgets in the league. So, there was always going to be less than zero chance of being able to bring in a Championship equivalent to Godden in L1 or Doyle in L2. Therefore, in many ways you could argue that our model in its current form has peaked.
What's been said?as usual Talksport talking absolute bollocks.
Tabloid radio for fucking half wits.
What's been said?
I think he did failpeople have posted quotes from Talksport saying he'd failed a medical.
I think he did fail
But a deal was done for a year long loan.
Probably for a huge fee of something like £5m with a commitment to sign him at the end of the year if whatever they found during the medical hasn't caused a problem
Think it’s gonna be a yearly struggle. This year is a gift really though, I wonder what our balance sheet looks like.So, here’s my question: is that because we are in Brum/corona’ed and if so shouldn’t Sisu be funding the difference as promised when we moved, and more worryingly if not and we’d still be too skint at the Ricoh can we ever establish ourselves as a Championship club again? Would we need the new ground?
Yeah think it's about 6-7m. Plus the Wilson windfall, offset against increased wage bill. I reckon we'll still be lucky to break evenThink it’s gonna be a yearly struggle. This year is a gift really though, I wonder what our balance sheet looks like.
Am I right I’m thinking, all other things remaining equal, that the championship is an additional £6m a year with TV etc? Probably just balances out loss of expected fan revenue
The block of games we’re in at the moment isn’t great, we need to keep our heads up - I fear the worst today
RECALL ECCLESWill be interesting to see if anyone will step up and stake a claim in the middle of the park. For me the 2 CM positions are up for grabs.
Must admit, I feel the same. Mentally prepared myself to lose the next 3 games - all really tricky, and if we pick up anything it'll be a bonus. Will be sat by the TV full of pre match nerves hoping against hope. Just want us to have a real go today - sometimes the opposition may just be too good, but I hope we are not too passive. If things are clearly not going our way, I hope we try and change things earlier in the game (e.g. 2 up front etc, rather than leaving it until last 20 mins)The block of games we’re in at the moment isn’t great, we need to keep our heads up - I fear the worst today
We are almost certainly going to be after this run/block of games, it’s up to the management to keep the players heads up.I miss the days where we expect us to win every week.
Another depressing loss today, just hope we can have a shot or two. Could be in bottom 3 tonight
Unfortunately I don't think we can. Not sure it was sensible to loan him out. If Kelly is injured we are really struggling in midfield and Eccles looked great against Gillingham. We need a strong squad given all the matches we have.RECALL ECCLES
Yep, It's a testing situation, time to be optimistic!We are almost certainly going to be after this run/block of games, it’s up to the management to keep the players heads up.
Is this one of your gigs Nick?

Is it though? We're gonna have to get used to not playing with him, looks like his petulant behaviour is part of his DNA. I'd swap for Walsh in a heartbeatHamer out is a major blow. Brentford will be reeling from Preston the other week. I’d take a draw but fear the worse today.
